The staff published 48 scientific documents in report format or in peer-reviewed journals. The staff participated in or helped organize public programs that led to more than 242 direct interactions between the Museum's research staff and the public. The division has undertaken a large effort to digitize all of its millions of collection objects in order to make these important specimens available to the public as primary records of life across time and space or images. The division conducted extensive field research across northern Ohio, the great lake regions, africa, and canada, all of which support conservation efforts and build a deeper understanding of the Natural world. Numerous scientific discoveries include the discovery of new hominin specimen that transformed our understanding of early human evolution, a major work on the taxonomy of south american praying mantises, and new data on avian hybrids.
